Yesterday, Frazier Revitalization unveiled a new home built for South Dallas resident Eula Wilson.

Earlier this year, Dallas Free Press’ Jennie Trejo interviewed Wilson about her living conditions and her almost six-year, unsuccessful journey to qualify for the City of Dallas’ home repair programs.

After the story was published, the nonprofit Frazier Revitalization made a home assessment of Wilson’s home and determined it was unsafe.

Through the Frazier Healthy Homes program, they built Wilson a brand new home. Funders, friends and family gathered on Wednesday morning to celebrate a new beginning for Wilson.

The “Legendary” Lincoln High School football team defeated the “Great” James Madison High School 60–34 in Saturday’s South Dallas Classic. Fittingly nicknamed the South Dallas Super Bowl, the event featured a full halftime show that took over the field. Outside John Kincaide Stadium, Lincoln alumni hosted a tailgate, with tents full of graduates from different decades playing games, sharing food and catching up with former classmates.
